Hello, Mark. :) I am pleased to see you, again! Your book looks wonderful! From the excerpt and review, it has the feel of intimate complexness and inventiveness, combined with intelligence and ability to hold the made world as a cohesive, mind-delighting whole to enthrall its audience, in the way of Asimov and Herbert! I enjoyed reading your bio, what an active life you have led! I'm afraid most of my life is in my head... Ha! Oh well, I kinda like it. Kids are home soon from school, wanted to let you know I will try to explain the mish-mash behind "Behind Eternity", kind of like my "I Don't Believe in Muses", another not too well structured story-piece with threads hanging out and lapses of sticking to the theme. I'm learning, though! Sometimes several things I've been thinking on become interlaced and a bit stupefying to the reader, but that make, oh, sooo delicious sense to me! That's what I love about poetry, the meanings can be layered with the reader reading one thing the writer supplied, while below is the actual story(s)! I'm not very good at reading and reviewing anymore here, it is so time consuming, once I step into the fray on the board, I am obliged to post something half-way smart for as many authors as I can, and feel a touch of guilt when real life constantly demands my attention, my girls are 8 & 12 so I often yearn for hours, days, weeks of silence to think and write. Speaking of which, my youngest is home, will catch you later with a synopsis. Oh, btw, I love this passage in your book!!!
"Ouvé chastised Raekwon gently. “All is one and that is the way of it throughout the Omniverse. Beings limited to the purely physical plane cannot perceive eternal truth or law, so their actions rise directly from their own perceived needs and desires. Greed and narcissism are at the base of the sentient condition. This holds true even considering the myriad dynamics of repression and the resultant salvation. Still, sentient nature is what it is. Self-destruction knows no color, or physical boundaries.”
I need to look into it deeper, it fascinates me...
:)

It takes an exceptional soul in command of a gifted pen to reinvent the "creation genre" in such a cosmically exalted yet down-to-earth-then-back-up-to-the-sky freshly erotic metaphorical manner. Pure Brilliance by any other name would still be exactly what we have in THE EARTH AND THE SKY--Pure Brilliance.

An exquisite look at creation! "intent upon sowing her wild oats; thusly, she was reborn." You've got that right! Love this line!
I love the intaglio, raised surface stamping. This poem brings into existence the earth and sky and everything in between. This is a yoga story poem, in that the initiation between Yoga and creation., thinking of it as an initiatory rite--->primitive of those that pursue the creation of a 'new body' a 'mystical body' (symbolically assimilated, among the primitives, to the body of a newborn infant.) Now the 'mystical body' will allow the yogin in to enter the transcendent mode of being, especially in tantrism and alchemy. This poem draws heavenly in so many ways. It is strong intellectual bent, and the path to earthly knowledge to the spiritual aspirant. Great story poem, Mark!

Mark I am going thru some advanced stages of Epiphany, more common then anyone could imagine. Until I read "Love and Life" I felt alone in a world full of religious fanatics: 'freaks of nature' that know The Word but still do not know God. I love it I love it. I love you for calming yourself enuff to write it. I have been reading so much and listening to all kinds of sermons and speeches to get close enuff to what it is God is showing me when in the end thru "Love and Life" I know only God can take me there.

Mark, you show piercing insight and courage of the highest in your dream journeys and waking life. The demons outside of us are nothing compared to the demons within us, which, in the face of your wisdom, can turn to nothing in and of themselves. Thanks for this.
Dreams, Fears and Conscious Spiritual Evolution: Is something changing? (Article) - 7/29/2006 8:34:37 AM
Very interesting piece Mark. I too try to comprehend the dream world and wonder if, in part, we visit at night where we will go one day when we pass. As for the creature, I wonder if you are aware of the phenomena known as the incubus. Usually this is an old hag who attacks you when you are sleeping but you might find it interesting to google the term to see if any of it relates. All the best. Malcolm Watts
